FUNAG launches book celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Rio Branco Institute
In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Rio Branco Institute (IRBr), the Alexandre de Gusmão Foundation has just launched the book O Instituto Rio Branco como instituição acadêmica e instrumento diplomático [The Rio Branco Institute as an Academic Institution and Diplomatic Instrument], by diplomat Mariana Lima Moscardo de Souza. The book analyses the historical and institutional trajectory of the Brazilian diplomatic academy since its foundation in 1945. The book also explores the main moments of transformation of the IRBr, from its creation in the post-war period to the current challenges linked to inclusion, updating the curriculum and international cooperation.
Based on official documents, institutional records and experiences accumulated over eight decades, the publication also seeks to fill gaps in the bibliography on the IRBr and reflect on the role of diplomatic academies in a changing world.
The publication is available free of charge from FUNAG's digital library.The printed version can be purchased from the official online store.
